Deterministic Sampling Algorithms for Network Design
For several NP-hard network design problems, the best known approximation algorithms are remarkably simple randomized algorithms called Sample-Augment algorithms in [11]. The algor...

Energy Minimization Under Constraints on Label Counts
Abstract. Many computer vision problems such as object segmentation or reconstruction can be formulated in terms of labeling a set of pixels or voxels. In certain scenarios, we may...

Self-annealing and self-annihilation: unifying deterministic annealing and relaxation labeling
Deterministic annealing and relaxation labeling algorithms for classification and matching are presented and discussed. A new approach--self annealing--is introduced to bring dete...

Adaptive Simulated Annealing: A Near-optimal Connection between Sampling and Counting
We present a near-optimal reduction from approximately counting the cardinality of a discrete set to approximately sampling elements of the set. An important application of our wo...

Approximate distributed top- k queries
We consider a distributed system where each node keeps a local count for items (similar to elections where nodes are ballot boxes and items are candidates). A top-k query in such ...
